7 Ch7-I Wish I Had a TV in My Pajamas

Chapter 7 I Wish I Had a TV in My Pajamas We went to the vomitorium for lunch. I sat with Ryan and Michael. Andrea and her annoying friend Emily were at the next table. I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Michael had a ham sandwich. Ryan had a wichsand, which is a sandwich

第七章我希望我的睡衣里有台电视我们去体育馆吃午饭。 我和瑞恩和迈克尔坐在一起。 安德里亚和她讨厌的朋友艾米丽在邻桌。 我吃了一个花生酱和果冻三明治。 迈克尔吃了一个火腿三明治。 瑞恩吃了一个三明治

with the meat on the outside and the bread in the middle. Ryan invented the wichsand. He should get the No Bell Prize. Which president are you gonna be for your oral report? Michael asked. I'm gonna be James Garfield, Ryan said, because I like Garfield the cat. I'm gonna be Herbert Hoover, said Michael, because he was named after a vacuum cleaner. I think the vacuum cleaner was named after him, I said. What about you, A.J., asked Ryan. Which president are you gonna be? I don't know yet, I told the guys. But it would be cool to be president for real.

肉在外面，面包在中间。 瑞恩发明了巫术。 他应该得诺贝尔奖。 你的口头报告是哪位总统做的? 迈克尔问道。我要演詹姆斯·加菲尔德，瑞恩说，因为我喜欢那只叫加菲尔德的猫。 我要叫赫伯特·胡佛，迈克尔说，因为他是以吸尘器的名字命名的。 我想吸尘器是以他的名字命名的，我说。 你呢，aj，瑞恩问。 你会成为哪位总统? 我还不知道，我告诉他们了。 但当上真正的总统会很酷。

Nobody can tell him what to do! I'll bet the president can stay up late, even on school nights. I'll bet he can eat candy anytime he wants, Ryan said. And he doesn't have to brush his teeth. I'll bet he doesn't even have to make his bed, I said, or clean up his room or feed his fish. I'll bet he can watch TV in his pajamas all day if he feels like it, Michael said. The president has a TV in his pajamas? I asked. That's cool! I noticed that Andrea and Emily kept turning around and giggling. Girls are always giggling. Andrea and Emily were probably talking about girly stuff like

没人能告诉他该做什么!我敢打赌总统可以熬到很晚，即使是在上学的晚上。 “我敢打赌，他随时都可以吃糖果，”瑞安说。 而且他不用刷牙。 我敢打赌他甚至不用铺床，我说，或者打扫房间，或者喂他的鱼。 “我敢打赌，只要他愿意，他可以穿着睡衣看一整天电视，”迈克尔说。 总统的睡衣里有台电视? 我问。那很酷!我注意到安德里亚和艾米丽不停地转过身来咯咯地笑。 女孩们总是咯咯地笑。 安德里亚和艾米丽可能在聊女孩子的话题，比如

smelly perfume and how many pairs of shoes they have. We boys have more important stuff to talk about, like whether or not the president has a TV in his pajamas. We ignored them. Our conversation was none of their beeswax anyway. Do you think Mr. Macky was telling the truth when he said Abraham Lincoln had to write on a shovel? I asked the guys.

难闻的香水和他们有多少双鞋。 我们男生有更重要的事要谈，比如总统的睡衣里有没有电视。 我们忽略了他们。我们的谈话也不关他们的事。 麦基先生说亚伯拉罕·林肯必须在铲子上写字，你觉得他说的是真的吗? 我问他们。

Lincoln should have used a computer, said Ryan. It's much easier to write on. Yeah, but you can't use a computer to dig a hole, Michael pointed out. Well, you can't check your e-mail on a shovel, Ryan said. You could check your e-mail if you had a shovel with a built-in computer, I told them.

林肯应该用电脑，莱恩说。 在上面写字容易多了。 “是的，但是你不能用电脑挖洞，”迈克尔指出。 “好吧，你不能在铲子上查收邮件，”瑞恩说。 我告诉他们，如果你有一把带内置电脑的铲子，你就可以查看电子邮件了。

The lunch lady, Ms. LaGrange, told us it was time to clean off our trays. Andrea and Emily walked by our table. Boys are dumbheads, Andrea said.

负责午餐的女服务员拉格朗日女士告诉我们，是时候清理盘子了。 安德里亚和艾米丽从我们桌旁走过。 男孩都是傻瓜，安德里亚说。
